<h1 id="accessibility">Accessibility</h1>
<p>The GOV.UK Design System website and the codebase it uses, GOV.UK Frontend, is maintained by a team at the Government Digital Service (GDS).</p>
<p>This page explains how the team works to ensure the Design System and Frontend are accessible.</p>
<p><a href="https://github.com/alphagov/govuk-frontend/blob/main/docs/contributing/test-components-using-accessibility-acceptance-criteria.md">Read about how to test components using accessibility acceptance criteria.</a></p>
<h2 id="accessibility-statement-for-the-govuk-design-system-website">Accessibility statement for the GOV.UK Design System website</h2>
<p>This accessibility statement applies to the GOV.UK Design System at <a href="https://design-system.service.gov.uk/">https://design-system.service.gov.uk/</a>, and the components and patterns from the GOV.UK Frontend codebase which appear in the examples throughout the Design System.</p>
<p>The GOV.UK Design System team wants as many people as possible to be able to use this website. For example, that means you should be able to:</p>
<ul>
<li>change colours, contrast levels and fonts</li>
<li>zoom in up to 300% without the text spilling off the screen</li>
<li>navigate most of the website using just a keyboard</li>
<li>navigate most of the website using speech recognition software</li>
<li>listen to most of the website using a screen reader (including the most recent versions of JAWS, NVDA and VoiceOver)</li>
</ul>
<p>The team has also made the website text as simple as possible to understand.</p>
<p><a href="https://mcmw.abilitynet.org.uk/">AbilityNet</a> has advice on making your device easier to use if you have a disability.</p>

<h3 id="enforcement-procedure">Enforcement procedure</h3>
<p>The Equality and Human Rights Commission (EHRC) is responsible for enforcing the Public Sector Bodies (Websites and Mobile Applications) (No. 2) Accessibility Regulations 2018 (the ‘accessibility regulations’). If you’re not happy with how we respond to your complaint, <a href="https://www.equalityadvisoryservice.com/">contact the Equality Advisory and Support Service (EASS)</a>.</p>
<p>GDS is committed to making its websites accessible, in accordance with the Public Sector Bodies (Websites and Mobile Applications) (No. 2) Accessibility Regulations 2018.</p>
<h3 id="compliance-status">Compliance status</h3>
<p>The Design System website at <a href="/">https://design-system.service.gov.uk/</a> is fully compliant with the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) version 2.1 AA standard.</p>
<p>The GOV.UK Frontend documentation website at <a href="https://frontend.design-system.service.gov.uk/">http://frontend.design-system.service.gov.uk/</a> is fully compliant with the WCAG 2.1 AA standard.</p>
<h3 id="how-this-website-has-been-tested-for-accessibility">How this website has been tested for accessibility</h3>
<p>The Design System website was last tested on 7 October 2019. The test was carried out by the <a href="https://digitalaccessibilitycentre.org/">Digital Accessibility Centre (DAC)</a>.</p>
<p>DAC tested a sample of pages to cover the different content types in the GOV.UK Design System website. They were:</p>
<ul>
<li><a href="/">the homepage</a></li>
<li><a href="/community/design-system-working-group/">a short content page</a></li>
<li><a href="/styles/layout/">a long content page</a></li>
<li><a href="/community/">an overview page</a></li>
<li><a href="/styles/typography/">a styles page</a></li>
<li><a href="/components/radios/">a component page</a></li>
<li><a href="/patterns/question-pages/">a pattern page</a></li>
</ul>
<p>They also tested the global search functionality that appears in the header of every page in the Design System.</p>
<p>The <a href="http://frontend.design-system.service.gov.uk/">GOV.UK Frontend documentation website</a> was last tested for accessibility issues in March 2021.</p>
<h3 id="how-the-govuk-design-system-team-makes-this-website-accessible">How the GOV.UK Design System team makes this website accessible</h3>
<p>The GOV.UK Design System team works hard to ensure that this Design System and Frontend, the codebase it uses, are accessible.</p>
<p>Where possible, the team aims to research components and patterns with a representative range of users, including those with disabilities.</p>
<p>We also test components to ensure they work with a broad range of browsers, devices and assistive technologies - including screen magnifiers, screen readers and speech recognition tools.</p>
<p>When we publish new content, we’ll continue to make sure that it meets accessibility standards.</p>
<h3 id="preparation-of-this-accessibility-statement">Preparation of this accessibility statement</h3>
<p>This statement was prepared on 23 October 2019. It was last reviewed on 30 June 2021.</p>
<h2 id="using-the-design-system-and-frontend-in-your-service">Using the Design System and Frontend in your service</h2>
<p>While the GOV.UK Design System team takes steps to ensure the Design System is as accessible as possible by default, you still need to carry out contextual research.</p>
<p>Using Frontend does not mean your service automatically meets level AA of WCAG 2.1. You’ll still need to make sure your service as a whole meets accessibility requirements.</p>
<p>You must research styles, components and patterns as part of your service to ensure that they are accessible in context.</p>
<p>Find out what you need to do to <a href="https://www.gov.uk/service-manual/helping-people-to-use-your-service/making-your-service-accessible-an-introduction">make your service accessible</a> in the GOV.UK Service Manual.</p>
<h2 id="if-you-are-not-using-the-design-system-and-frontend">If you are not using the Design System and Frontend</h2>
<p>The Design System and Frontend were introduced in June 2018 to replace the following deprecated codebases:</p>
<ul>
<li>GOV.UK Elements</li>
<li>GOV.UK Frontend Toolkit</li>
<li>GOV.UK Template</li>
</ul>
